Chapter 1049 The Worst Case

Forget about Draco, but now even Fleur can rescue the hostages safely, which makes people doubt the motives of the mermaids.

Seeing Krum and Draco swimming upstream with their respective hostages, Harry had no choice but to temporarily suppress the many questions in his mind.

He held the spear tightly in both hands and approached the village tentatively.

The mermen ignored him and continued to confront the Aurors.

Even when they entered the village, they still did not attack him.

It was a bit weird, but it was a good opportunity.

Harry swam quickly to the tail of the statue, raised his spear and neatly cut the ropes that bound Ron, and also cut the ropes on Gabrielle.

Furong gently pressed her right hand on her left breast and leaned forward slightly to express her heartfelt gratitude to him.

The four hostages were safely rescued from the village. The mermaids stopped besieging the Aurors and retreated into rows.

Could it be that he recognized the wrong test subject?

Vincent on the statue's head doesn't think so.

The Death Eaters went to great lengths to sneak into the Ministry of Magic, definitely not just to use mermaids to deal with the Aurors.

"What kind of conspiracy is this..." Vincent quietly came behind the mermaid leader.

As long as there is any abnormal behavior, he will control it immediately.

The images of the warriors and their hostages safely leaving the village were broadcast and appeared on the projection screen in the Magic Department Hall.

Fudge and senior executives are discussing whether to resume global live broadcast.

The process is not important, what is important is the result.

The warriors rescued the hostages safely, and only Harry suffered minor injuries.

They can claim that the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted due to equipment failure, and the focus of public opinion will shift from questioning the Ministry of Magic to how the warriors rescue the hostages.

On the shores of Black Lake,

Bagman and Old Batty at the referee's table received Fudge's new orders at the same time.

Both of them were visibly relieved, "Three principals, we are going to resume the global live broadcast."

Karkaroff snorted, his eyes fixed on the picture of Krum, not even glancing at the two of them.

Madame Maxime's expression seemed much more relaxed, and she smiled and nodded at the two of them.

Dumbledore in the middle had a calm expression on his face, making it hard to guess what he was feeling at the moment.

Fudge's order was to resume the global live broadcast immediately. Bagman did not dare to delay and ran quickly towards the stands.

quickly,

Wizards around the world who were still waiting finally waited for the live broadcast to resume.

They first saw the mermaids lined up in rows, and then the four warriors who had rescued the hostages.

They missed the best part, and were practically cursing the British Ministry of Magic.

After cursing, they all discussed the process of the warriors rescuing the hostages.

At the same time, the mermaid leader at the bottom of the lake fainted without any warning.

Vincent behind it was horrified, and the mermaid guards who supported it spoke words filled with anger through the water.

The worst situation happened. The mermen lined up in rows became angry. They raised their spears high and madly attacked the Aurors who did not understand what was going on.

This time it was no longer a small fight. The mermaids' spears spit out huge rainbow bubbles. Unfortunately, an Auror was hit by the bubbles and trapped in a bubble-shaped cage.

The bubble cage became smaller and smaller, and when his spell broke the cage, the burst bubbles caused the lake water to ripple violently, as if it was going to crush his body.

“Don’t be rash…” The unaffected mermaids thrust out their spears, but his body was squeezed by the lake water and he had no time to react.

The thick blood dissolved instantly due to the water pressure at the bottom of the lake, and the Auror who was stabbed in the abdomen by the spear fell straight down.

"Damn it!" The remaining Aurors no longer held back and fired back at the mermaid with spells that were full of aggression.

Just as casualties were about to mount, the lake water between the two sides suddenly became agitated, like an invisible hand separating the Aurors and mermaids.

Although they couldn't see it, both sides could feel the powerful fluctuations of magic power.

Being able to manipulate such a large area of ​​lake water, his magic level must be unfathomable.

Over there by the statue,

Vincent's heavy breathing separated the two sides further.

It happened so suddenly and the water pressure at the bottom of the lake was so great that he could only concentrate on controlling the water from a distance.

"Buzz——" His magic communicator received a new message.

"The live broadcast has been resumed."

This short sentence made Vincent frightened again.

It was such a coincidence that the mermaid leader fainted just after the live broadcast was resumed.

Death Eaters are taking advantage of live streaming?

Vincent glanced coldly at the hidden cameras and manipulated the lake water to crush them one by one.

The picture at the bottom of the lake was completely interrupted, and the outside world completely lost any news about this place.

But at this moment, the fainted mermaid leader woke up without any warning.

Its eyes were as dull as ever. It had just pretended to faint because the Death Eater had not lifted the control of the Imperius Curse.

"fanliber——" The mermaid leader fainted suddenly in the middle of his words.

Vincent put away his wand, his expression extremely solemn.

Although he didn't know the merman language, he just wanted to order the mermen to attack the Aurors with all their strength, or to order them to attack the warriors who had already left.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he had to forcibly lift the Imperius Curse and let the mermen target the Aurors.

ashore,

The four referees all looked at the dark projection screen at the bottom of the lake with worry.

The Aurors and the mermaids were separated further and further apart, and then the only picture of the lake bottom suddenly turned black. It was obvious that someone didn't want the outside world to know the situation at the bottom of the lake.

Karkaroff snorted coldly at old Barty and continued to stare at the scene over there on Krum's side.

Madam Maxime sneered, "Director Crouch, your British Ministry of Magic is really clever."

In the opinion of the two headmasters, the only one who least wanted the outside world to know the situation at the bottom of the lake was the British Ministry of Magic.

The mermaid and the Auror started fighting again, and they were determined to kill each other. This could not be explained by a simple accident. There must have been some major incident.

Old Batty first glanced back at the stands, and his slightly frowned brows became even tighter. "I'm sorry, Madame Maxime, this should be due to Ludo's improper operation."

Karkaroff smiled sarcastically.

Yes, anyway, the protagonists of the live broadcast are the warriors, and the British Ministry of Magic only needs to give a reasonable explanation afterwards.

Dumbledore's expression was neither sad nor happy, making it even more difficult to guess.

Old Batty stood up with a frown on his face. "Three principals, Ludo often starts things with great enthusiasm but ends them with a sluggish finish. I think I need to go over and see what's going on."

Bagman has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet, he must have encountered something very "difficult".

It would be better to let old Batty go over and take a look. Maybe after a while, the scene at the bottom of the lake can be restored.
